A few years ago I came across this Diana candle and loved it so much I have been on the hunt for more of them. They seem to be pretty hard to find but every once in awhile they show up.The front has Diana’s face on and on the back it has a rose with the words the England’s Beloved Rose. The scent is a lovely rose fragrance that really fills the home.
November 15, 1984 The Princess of Wales was invited to namea new cruise ship for the Princess Cruise lines. The name she chose was Royal Princess. some of us who grew up watching The Love boat may remember the Blue and white lady with the wavy hair on the ship. The “Love Boat was the Royal Princess’s Sister ship The Pacific Princess. I found this very unique postcard commemorating Diana christening the ship on ebay and I also have a article on the event in one of my royalty or Majesty magazines as soon as i locate it I will be able to post them as well.

Today I recieved the flyer for a new baby doll that is dedicated to Diana. Her name is Rose and She comes with a Locket of the late Princess as well as a velvet pillow. She is not suppose to be a “Diana” Doll. It looks like to me she is a little girl paying tribute to the princess. She is made by Ashton Drake and cost 199.00 or 6 payments of 33.00.No word on if this will be a series or not.

Many Thanks to Beth Taylor for these fabulous photos.
I purchased these a month ago and I have been searching for the book that they go in to. Apparently this is one of the harder books to get your hands on. So far the only price I have found the book for is $99.00 a little steep for my blood. So far I have only collected 10 stickers so the hunt begans for the book and the rest of the stickers!

I was able to complete the Memorial Episode for Diana this afternoon . Sadly I only recieved one recorded message to include in the show. I hope next year more people will send in more tributes.
